FTP Problems

Hi,

are there any known issues with the "FTP List Directory" action ?

I've upgraded to FinalBuilder6 and now this action fails. It still runs well in the old project. I haven't checked the commands sent to the ftp server yet, just in case that there's already a known (fixed) issue.

Thank you for any hints in advance.
Andre

Hi Andre,

There are no known issues, please let us know if you encounter one. You may want to check the connection settings, and (as you suggested) enable the “verbose FTP Logging” option to see all of the FTP commands.

Were you upgrading from FB 5?

Regards,

Angus

PS I’ve moved your post from the Automise forums to the FinalBuilder Bug Reports forum.

 

Hi Angus,

thank you.

> Were you upgrading from FB 5?

Yes, I 've upgraded from FB 5.
I'll activate "verbose FTP logging" for both projects and let you know if I see any differences.

Hups. Sorry should have gone there initially.

Andre

Hi Angus,

I've activated detailed FTP logging, but found no significant difference in the logs.
The first operations execute without any problems (change directory) - the first operation which fails on FB6 is "List directory".
See the FTP log below.

Andre

Hi Andre,

I can’t explain why this is failing under FB 6 and not 5, but you may want to try enabling “Passive Mode” on the FTP Connection action. That will hopefully take care of the issue.

Angus

Hi Angus,

thank you for the hint and sorry for the late answer. I hadn't yet the time to check it in FB6.

After I had enabled "Passive Mode" , the upload was successful in FB6 too. 
Thank you very much.

Regards,
Andre
